Disney's Phineas & Ferb DVD: Review & #Giveaway

PHINEAS AND FERB: THE PERRY FILES DVD with Digital Copy and Perry Activity Pack available June 5th!

While Phineas
and Ferb do it all to make every day the best day ever, evil lurks just
around the corner! But there is hope for the unsuspecting citizens of
Danville. Now, for the very first time, crack open the top-secret
archives of O.W.C.A. (Organization Without a Cool Acronym) to expose...
THE PERRY FILES!

Join
Perry the Platypus–a.k.a. Agent P.–on his most exciting adventures as
he thwarts his nemesis, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, at every turn. With groovy
gadgets, mad skills and his trademark brown fedora, this semi-aquatic,
egg-layin’ mammal of action is unstoppable! Experience the hilarious
havoc as he defends the Tristate Area against Doof’s “inators,” battles
rogue agent “Dennis the Bunny,” and much more. When it comes to secret
agents, Perry’s not only the real deal, he’s real teal!

D and I received our copy of Phineas and Ferb yesterday, and she and her friends were so excited to check it out! I was excited too. I used the opportunity to watch the new movie as a "reward" for cleaning up the toy room. Ha! (Worked like a charm - don't tell me you haven't done something similar.) Once the room was spotless, we popped in the movie and let the fun begin. They LOVED it. I wasn't sure, being a group of very princess-y preschool aged girls, how they'd feel about this funky, quirky show but it held their attention the entire time. There's something for everyone in The Perry Files! And the best part is that I enjoyed watching it too. It's reminiscent of those fantastic Saturday morning cartoons back in the 80s. Lots of mischief and havoc and hilariousness. And the cartoons are not super "digital" looking. (Some of these new computer animated shows sorta bug me - call me old school, I'll take it. ;) Anyway, the fact is, we all thought that Phineas and Ferb: The Perry Files was worth watching! As for the bonus features, they're a great way to spend a quiet few moments on a rainy afternoon. We're very excited to add this one to our Disney DVD collection and I'm sure you would be too!
